Republican Gov. Scott Walker is expected to greet President Barack Obama at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee on Wednesday, but it was uncertain if he would accompany him on a visit to Master Lock in the central city.

Tuesday, Walker had a stomach bug that forced him to miss a speech to the Milwaukee Rotary Club.

"The governor was sick all day today," Walker's spokesman, Cullen Werwie, said late Tuesday. "I think we have to wait to see where he's at tomorrow."

Democrats accused Walker of skipping the tour because of potential press questions about the John Doe investigation into Walker's tenure as Milwaukee County executive.

2. He feels like he's coming down with something...maybe an indictment?

The criminal complaints raise serious questions about what Walker knew and when he knew it.

The secret John Doe investigation of Governor Scott Walker's associates by the Milwaukee County District Attorney, with help from the FBI, keeps turning up new dirt.

The worst, so far, are the allegations that Walker staffers Tim Russell and Kevin Kavanaugh stole money that was supposed to go to Wisconsin veterans and vendors at a Milwaukee County Zoo veterans' event, as well as the widows and children of Wisconsin's war dead--and used it to pay for cruises, restaurant meals, and a Walker-for-governor campaign web site.

Walker Nixes Factory Tour With Obama Due To Stomach Flu

Eric Kleefeld

There has been a change of plans in today’s meeting between President Obama, who is visiting Wisconsin to promote his economic policies, and the state’s conservative star Gov. Scott Walker.

Walker’s office has confirmed that due to a stomach flu, Walker will no longer accompany Obama on a tour of the local Master Lock factory, at which Obama is scheduled to speak in the afternoon.

Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie confirmed to TPM, however, that Walker still plans on greeting Obama on the tarmac at the Milwaukee airport.

Obama name-dropped Master Lock in his State of the Union address in January, as an example of jobs coming back to America — and unionized jobs, at that.

12. since "stomach flu" does`t exist...

i`d say he eat something bad or he found a easy way to get out of meeting with obama.

could it be he`d have to explain why he took the mortgage money and put it the state budget instead of the people`s bank accounts?

It would be typical of the repugs to spread some vicious virus!

Doesn't look like any country club that he'e ever been to, and it made his tummy rumble.
